MCCWRT Discussion Meeting 3/27/21: Civil War Prisons, North and South

Four members of our McHenry County (Illinois)  Civil War Round Table met yesterday at Stucky's in Johnsburg, Illinois, for our monthly discussion group.  Stucky's had a nice layout of fresh fruit, pastries and plenty of coffee.  Thanks, Stucky's.

This was a hybrid meeting in that we also had Zoom going, with another four joining us, including one of out members in Florida.  How about that.  This was the first time I had had first-hand experience with Zoom and I was impressed.  Not enough to get it going for myself yet, anyway, nut nonetheless.  I'm thinking all of our discussion group meetings will also be Zoom in the future.

Something good coming from trying times indeed.

Much of our discussion was on prisons in Illinois, though many others were mentioned.  I'll have more on that later.

The last discussion group meeting we had was in October and at Stucky's again (our usual month meetings are in a room at Panera Bread in Crystal Lake but, of course, the room has been closed since last March).

Anyway, it is good to talk Civil War with like-minded folk.

I'll also have the answers to yesterday's prison questions (and some more questions) in tomorrow's post.
